The c-base needs your help!

http://c-base.org

For those of you who don't know - the c-base is an ancient crashed space
station beneath Berlin, home to the city's unfunded and extreme edges of
creativity and technical virtuosity.

As Vortex of free2air says:

    'to my knowledge, no other independent group in europe has done more
    for research and inspiration into the field of open wireless
    networking.  from promotion of German designed and acclaimed
    meshcubes, to promoting research and experimentation with
    wardriving, wireless mapping, wireless meshing, OLSR, and more
    recently a possible successor B.A.T.M.A.N.  weekly events including
    wireless antenna building workshops have been held there regularly
    for years.  3d artists, musicians, gaming freaks, wireless
    networkers, embedded hackers, caffeine freaks and more have all
    regularly used the  c-base and the cross-disciplinary cooperation
    and cross-talk is unique to c-base.'

I've found the c-base to be one of the most inspiring examples of DIY
culture and interdisciplinary extra-institutional research in the world,
with too many projects and vital connections made there to mention.

If the c-base dies now, they may never fulfil the dream of
re-constructing the social and technical infrastructure of the space
station - which would be a sad loss for Berlin, the Earth and the
Universe.

Please give generously - it's a totally attainable sum! Also, please
pass this on to your networks and any rich geeks you know who might be
able to help. 

Cheers!

Saul
